There were some mosquitoes in the room, but this is unavoidable in India. Dorm for 6 was a little small but then again, it’s a homestay.

As a solo female traveler, safety is my number 1 priority. I felt very safe in Zigzag Homestay. The location is quite far from the center, but it’s easy to use Uber to get a taxi. Moses (owner) has created a connected environment between all the guests during my stay and put me in contact with other solo traveler guests which made it easier to become friends and do activities together. I felt taken care of by Moses and he really took the time to hangout with all the guests. Sometimes we will just be lounging in the office chitchatting which created a great environment between all the guests. Moses also helps organize food tour and Taj Mahal tours. He is very informative and has a lot of knowledge about India and is happy to share it. Facilities were modest as it is a homestay, but clean and sufficient for a short stay.

The location isn't quite in the centre of Agra and is a short autorickshaw ride away from most things. There are one or two places to eat within walking distance which Moses recommended - I didn't go as I was unwell so can't comment on these!

Zigzag is a great mix of hostel and homestay - all the friendliness and local advice of a homestay whilst being really sociable with other travellers and offering lots of activities. Moses is a wonderful personable and caring host - super attentive without being overbearing at all. I was really unwell when I arrived at Zigzag and Moses was incredibly kind, checking in if I needed anything, offering advice and letting me check out late.

The Zizag Homestay is one of those places that really make the difference on the journey. Of course the Taj Mahal will always stay in our mind, but so will Moses. His hospitality and especially his warmhearted and honest character is truly exceptional. Thanks so much for the shared opinions and thoughts. The homestay itself is clean and comfortable and Steffi and her Mum cook excellent lunch. So in case you were not able to go on a food tour with Moses, eat there. The food tour was really tasty and total fun. So we highly recommend that and just ask Moses what to do and how in Agra. Thanks for everything and save travels!! P.s.: Moses, keep on understanding the world and make it a better place.

The host. Moses is an amazing host and takes care of all the guests. He will guide your way through the city and will plan the day for you in the best way possible. The property was super clean and a nice place to meet travellers from around the world.

Great home stay (hostel like) run by a friendly family that a solo traveler could ask for. Moses’ recommendations made my short visit the most time efficient and I liked his restaurant suggestions for both dinner and breakfast. The small but clean and comfy dormitory is all you need to crash after a tiring day. The outdoor terrace with plenty of comfortable beds also makes you feel at home, especially in the company of the cutest playful and friendly family beagle.

Moses not only had heaps of recommendations off the beaten track but also made everyone feel like family. The guesthouse only fits a small amount of people which helps to really get in touch with everyone. Can’t wait to be back!

Zigzag Homestay in Agra exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, Moses welcomed me with warmth and hospitality. His friendly demeanor instantly made me feel at home. Throughout my stay, Moses proved to be an invaluable resource, offering insightful suggestions on how to make the most of my time in Agra (and beyond). Whether it was recommending the best sights to see, where to change money, or providing practical tips for navigating the city, Moses was always ready to help. The room was clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated, providing a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring the bustling streets of Agra. As for the location, it was perfect as it allowed me to easily access all the major attractions, including the iconic Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. In summary, I would highly recommend Zigzag Homestay to anyone looking for a comfortable and memorable stay in this beautiful city.

We had a fantastic time staying in the lovely homestay with Moses and the family (including Sky the puppy)! We had an excellent dinner and chat with Moses who provided invaluable information and booked train tickets for us.

Moses and Stefi were phenomenal hosts who went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home, comfortable and taken care of. They honestly took care of every need or request we had and shared so much of themselves with us. They felt like a family we could rely on and it made our stay in Agra so much more calm, knowing we were well looked after by such kind and generous people. The food was amazing and the bed super comfy!

The homestay is an amazing place to stay in Agra. Moses (the owner) and his family are the nicest people, who will make you feel like you're at home. Moses helped us organize everything and had some great recommendations for food and things to do in Agra. I also joined his food tour (which was amazing if you want to experience some local food) and a cooking class that is available in the hostel. Additionally, Moses has some great knowledge about the history and culture so we had some great talks. I would 100% recommend this homestay to anyone who wants to be welcomed in Agra with open arms and leave with new friends for life.

Moses the host of this place is amazing and so helpful. He let me store my luggage at the place even though I already checked out and helped with the booking of bus/train tickets. Thank you so much to this kind man :). The beds in the dorms were very comfy as well

Agra gets really cold during the night in winter and there is no heating. But I could sit with them next to the fire :).

Best place! Moses helped me so much with my solo travel (not only for Agra, but he knows great spots all over India). He and his family are very welcoming and warmhearted. I’m very greatful that I stayed in this homestay.

Stayed in January 2024

Moses is perfect host who makes you welcome in his home, advises you on sightseeing options, ticket booking process and is very helpful with travel logistic. Breakfast and dinner were nice tho a bit overpriced I’d say but for the comfort of not having to go outside, it paid off as there wasn’t that many i options around without taking auto. Just be mindful that if you travel during winter months it will be very cold and bathroom/showers are outside of the room.
